I played the drums again this week. I have so much to learn but it’s alot of fun. Our practice time was not long enough for me so I had to practice alot at home, the only thing is that our internet service was going off and on. Of all the weeks for this to happen, but it still worked out.
This morning after battling the internet for 3 days I called the service provider looking for help. The guy was very helpful and got me back on but we had to reboot and reconfigure the router. So my last line to this nice guy, who kept saying ” no worries” was “now this isn’t going to interfere with the other computers in the house?” His answer was no!

Wrong….I was unable to get connected, so I called back, got another guy and explained it all to him. The problem was I wasn’t speaking his computer language and I didn’t know his language, but he wasn’t listening to me either. This is really what I wanted to share. So I kept repeating the situation over again then he would say something in computer lingo and I would say, “I’m sorry, could you say that again?” I ended up just saying ok and thank you, cause I received a call on my cell that my youngest son just threw up in his class. I was off to get him, poor kid how bad was it to throw up in class!!

I made one more attempt to have the internet service to help me….the guy was nice and the end result was he listened and read in between the lines I wasn’t saying nor could explain that well. He fixed my problem and I thanked him for really listening to me.

I would not like having jobs in finance, nor would I like doing their job but it does teach you to listen to people, and explain things in a way that anyone could understand. Oh the lessons that we have to learn in life.

One of my dreams, lets check it off the list! I played the drums at church yesterday for the main service…….I did okay for the first time. I have a whole lot to learn, but it was so much fun.
It was so strange for me after at least 20 years of playing the guitar in church….the bad thing with the drums for now is that I can’t play and sing, I tried to and messed up the timing. It’s so easy for me to sing and play with the guitar…..but I will keep trying to achieve that task.

I decided that I wouldn’t be able to wear a dress either or pearls jewelry. I would keep it comfortable and simple.

Then I had my two boys looking at me, the whole time, I was sure they were going to say something negitve after I took my seat, but they didn’t. So I didn’t embarrass them, that was good.

So I will continue to keep working on the drums and next will be the bass guitar……………..
